Grew up in a rural area.... :)

Cheddar and Garlic biscuits, like the ones at Red Lobster.

I discovered that the source of my emotional eating was not expressing myself verbally. Family, friends, and co-workers often said things to me that I disliked. But instead of confronting them or responding, I tried to be nice by not saying anything at all. But the fact was....their words hurt me in some way, and it stayed…

That's wonderful. Thank you for the motivation.

He's a jerk! But what if one of the girsl next to him belched, and he was responding to that?

North Star

dried green beans

Yeah I agree! Or just go for an evening stroll with your boyfriend to burn the "extra" calories. Buying your own ice cream to keep at home may cause you to eat....even when you don't have extra calories.

Wow! That's awesome.

There is a zero calorie chocolate dip in the produce section of the supermarket. I started eating it with strawberries. It doesn't taste the same as real chocolate, but you get the same satisfaction.

Name: Lori Age: 35 1. I only buy white towels. 2. I love The Antiques Road Show and Liver. 3. I only started really getting into and wearing makeup when I was 34. 4. I want to play the electric guitar. 5. I'm a denim and flip flop girl.

Amazing! Great job.

From the refrigerator alone, I tossed: Miracle Whip cans of soda grape jelly all those bottles of ranch and blue cheese dressing chocolate and caramel syrup

Eating to lose. My goal is 1300-1400 calories a day. I do 30 minutes of cardio at least three times a week mixed with some weight training. I've seen great results.

I'm 5'6...My goal weight is 155. I have about 25 more pounds to go.

I moved from Summerville, SC to Wilmington, DE a little over 2 years ago. However, I love the place so much, I still have my home there. I would recommend Summerville, SC. It's a suburb 30 miles from Charleston and several beaches. Lots to do in the area, and still driving distance from major cities like Atlanta or…

My favorites are air popped popcorn with almonds, celery with light blue cheese, grapes, and gala apples. I always heard that crunchy foods help with hunger.

Halloween, Amityville, When a Stranger Calls, and Final Destination.....although i consider them Thrillers instead of Horror films.

Good for you! And you WILL be successful on the rest of your journey.

You can add me if you want to.

I could have grabbed a meal from the Chinese restaurant on the corner, but I didn't. Instead, I made a salad.

I have a BS in Biology. I'm a researcher at an international breeding company, although I started on the medical path. I got my first position (as a temp) in this field 6 months after graduating. Biology is general, so you could find a position in a hospital, lab, doctor's office....as long as you're willing to learn. I'm…

That's unacceptable. Seems like her life would benefit a little more from working (and the exercise involved with it) than doing nothing.

Welcome! It was exactly what I needed.

That's good advice! I should really apply it to my own life. I tend to hold on to things longer than necessary, thus giving it control over me.

You SHOULD confront her. Not in a threatening manner....but simply ask, "Is there something you want to discuss with me?" If she says no, then mention you saw her post. I would even go as far as bringing it up to my other friends to get their take on the situation. You can look them in the eye, and get a clear response to…

The same happens to me. Also, my feet felt numb after 20 minutes. I bought different running shoes (Gel Asics). That helped absorb some of the shock as my feet hit the surface. I also find it helpful to sway my hips more (think seductively) while I'm jogging. That helped with the lower back issues. But I have to mention…

**gasp** In some way, they feel they're giving you a compliment. Instead, they should just say "Great!" or "Good luck to you". I don't mind people telling me I look smaller than I really am....but it annoys me when people say "you should lose..." or "you can't hide that gut"
